Any guesses on what they could be playing?

I would have assumed Goldeneye, but that looks like the cartridge on the floor there.

Likely Mario Kart 64. Came out the same year as GoldenEye and they look too chill for an fps.

You can literally see the Goldeneye cartridge on the floor next to the 64. So unless they have two copies, they’re not playing it for sure.

Dunno if your app put your reply on the wrong comment but the person you responded to used the same evidence you found to suggest a game other than Goldeneye

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's a good guess. They also look too casual for Mario Party, but too serious for something like Donkey Kong 64.

There's no memory expansion pack, so this is likely before Q4 '99.

I'm trying to figure out what the black strips are on the cartridge. Maybe it is taped together? I don't remember any games with that color pattern.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I don't remember any cartridge colored like that either. I bet it's tape from a rental store.

too casual for Mario Party

Most likely true, no evidence of a fist fight yet.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It's likely a fighting game, look at how some of them are going there hands over the right side. Classic arcade hand positions.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Diddy Kong Racing then?

Later that night, something strange happened. The controller in his hand shifted, becoming an odd device, and the next thing he knew, he was in the Digital World.

Becomes de facto leader of a gang of fellow abductees and definitely got paired with a fire type. The goggle-heads always do.

The guy with the goggles give me 1080 snowboarding vibes. But since they are into shooters, maybe turok

Edit: the guy in Front looks like he is using the d-pad. i found this list of games which use the D-Pad on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/n64/comments/t6mdee/games_using_the_dpad/

Could rly be turok i guess :D

He looks like Baird from gears of war

How did I know PM5K was going to be in this thread? Thanks for this.

Are you the one with the frosted tips and goggles The Picard Maneuver?!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I wish. I sadly never frosted my tips in the 90s.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Well, of course! They were standard issue in the 90s.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Do they serve any practical purpose as in you put them on before doing something craaaazy or you were just supposed to wear them on head?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

In the 90s, everything was marketed as EXTREME, so you just had to be prepared.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I dont know why, but this came directly into my mind: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=VI__EW_fPJs :D

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Something with multiple control schemes, because two of them are using the analog stick and one is using the d-pad.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's Gary. Don't mind him, his controller doesn't work.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Little bro Gary!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

The best days of humanity. We'll never have a 90s era again and that's saddening.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

That's not a Mario Party/Mario Kart crowd. My guess would have been Goldeneye too. Next guess is one of the WWF/WCW/nWo games, at least one of them had a 4 player mode.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Could be WCW/NWo Revenge. A true classic.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

As a young lad, I was blown away by the customization options. You could make damn near anyone, from any wrestling organization.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Likely, either Mario Kart or Smash Bros

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It could be something weird like Conkers Bad Fur day multi-player. Though I agree with others it's most likely Mario Kart
